Marketware Takes Security Seriously with Multi-Factor Authentication

We’re excited to introduce Multi-Factor Authentication into the Physician Strategy Suite. With the increase of cloud-based platforms like ours, we know security concerns have become top-of-mind, especially for those working in healthcare who need to be HIPAA compliant.

What is Multi-Factor Authentication?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) or 2-factor authentication is a method used to make an account more secure. It works by, as the name suggests, using more than one factor for user verification. The 1st factor is your username and password — the 2nd is a 1-time code or PIN that will be sent via their method of choice (email, text, or phone call).

This means that in the event your login credentials are compromised, your username and password won’t be enough to access your Marketware account. Making MFA one of the best methods of protecting data against phishing or other cyberattacks.
